I am sure I do not need to tell any of my readers what an Awesome and Mighty God we serve. However, many times, we know in our minds that He is All-Powerful, yet we do not grab hold of that powerful Hand in times of trouble! The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him. - Nahum 1:7 (NLT) Yes, the Lord IS GOOD! All the time! He loves us very much! He is good to us every day. In this goodness, He also offers us refuge. Troubles are a part of life in this world. We cannot avoid them. However, we can take refuge in the One Who created all things. We can choose to trust Him. It says right there in His Word; "He is CLOSE to those who TRUST Him." He is right there with arms wide open waiting for us to hide in them! He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, Whose power no foe can withstand. - Psalm 91:1 (Amplified) Again, as with yesterday's devotional, it is our job … [Read more...]
The Daily {Intro} – Fix your Thoughts
When I first started Moms of Faith many years ago, I would write a devotional every day. Then I had another little child running around and it became more difficult! However, I have felt the Lord gently prodding me to get back to the basics. He wants me not only in His Word more, He also wants me to write more devotionals. So, here we go! :) First day of February and the first of "The Daily". I will post at least 5 devotions per week. M-F...weekends as the Lord leads. See you Daily! Fix your Thoughts I am convinced that we overlook our thought life to the degree that many of our strongholds are rooted there. Every sin we commit begins as a thought. We must first think it before we do it. Example: Our friend gets a new gadget that we have been pining for over the course of several months. When she is sharing her excitement, instead of feeling happy for her, we begin to get annoyed and wonder why "she" gets everything and we don't. Before you know it, we are irritated with this poor … [Read more...]
Wonderful Family Devotional
I recently assigned a wonderful book to my kids to read for homeschool. I was so excited to receive this book as a review copy from Bethany House Publishers, especially since it was already on my homeschool reading list. Hero Tales by Dave and Neta Jackson, the authors of Trailblazer Books, is part church history, part devotional, and part character study. This book can be used with various age groups and double as a family devotional. The book is geared for children aged six to twelve, however, with guidance you can engage a younger child. An older child could benefit by using this as an outline for further in depth study into one or more of the featured Christians in the book. However, the text would be too simple for a child above the age of 12 to read on his own. If you have have a vast array of age groups this book is best used as a family devotional. Hero Tales, compiles the lives of Christian heroes from William Tyndale to Harriet Tubman to Dwight L. Moody. The stories are … [Read more...]
